Chapter 4028: Greed
Ling Han smiled, “This brother, you see, I am just a herb gatherer. I have just gone out and spent all my Dao Commands, so how about I use herbs as compensation?”
“Sure,” the soldier said.
Ling Han pretended to fumble around in his luggage, yet through his Spatial Tool, he found a Celestial medicine of the lowest level. Then, he took it out.
It could not be helped. With the height he was at now, the medicinal ingredients that he could store away were naturally Celestial medicines.
“G.o.dly medicine!” The moment Ling Han took out the Celestial medicine, the soldier’s eyes almost popped out of his head.
“What!”
When the other soldiers heard the news, they all ran over. When they saw the medicinal herb that was exuding a soft red light in Ling Han’s hand, they could no longer maintain their composure.
This Celestial medicine was really very ordinary. It was left over from when Ling Han had concocted alchemical pills previously, and could not possibly be used in future. However, he had obviously underestimated the cultivation level of this place. It should be known that these soldiers were only Mystery Realm Tiers, and had not set foot on the Celestial Path. How could they not be shocked when they saw the Celestial medicine?
Ling Han gritted his teeth. He had thought that he had taken out an ordinary Celestial medicine, but in the end, these people’s level was too low, and they had all been shocked silly.
Forget it. In any case, it was not valuable to him, so he wouldn’t feel heartache even if he gave it away.
“Captain!”
“Captain!”
“Captain Qin!”
The soldiers all stepped aside, and then a middle-aged man with a large belly walked over. He looked to be in his forties, and was also a Mystery Realm Tier.
This captain was very good at putting on airs. As he walked, he swayed back and forth, appearing very overbearing.
Captain Qin s.n.a.t.c.hed the Celestial medicine from the hands of the soldier. His eyes swept over it, and a greedy expression instantly appeared on his round, fat face. Then, he looked towards Ling Han, “How could such an ordinary medicinal herb be enough? At least ten!”
Hiss, when the soldiers heard this, they all shook their heads secretly. Looks like their captain was going to screw someone over again.
It could not be helped. Who asked his daughter to marry into such a good family? Even if he was a tyrant, so what? No one could deal with him.
Ling Han smiled. Looks like he had taken out this Celestial medicine too easily. Naturally, others would think that he had even more Celestial medicines on him, and their quality was even higher.
This was called having already revealed his wealth. Furthermore, Ling Han hadn’t revealed any background, so who else would they rip off if not a fat sheep like him?
“F***, you actually dare to scam us?” The large black dog immediately jumped up, “It has only ever been Grandpa Dog that would be slaughtering others. A mere Mystery Realm Tier like you dares to be insolent in front of Grandpa Dog?”
“Demonic, Demonic Beast!” Captain Qin’s expression changed drastically, and he took a few steps back. There was a look of shock on his face, and the other soldiers didn’t look any better. They all looked terrified.
Yi, was that really necessary?
The large black dog stood up on his hind legs, and asked, “What is it? Do you want to fight?” Captain Qin laughed loudly, and said, “Brat, you actually dare to collude with a Demonic Beast? Even if a Heavenly King comes, he won’t be able to save you!” In his eyes, this was a chance, and he could use this opportunity to apprehend Ling Han and confiscate all his property.
Couldn’t the people here be a.s.sociated with Demonic Beasts?
“Guards, apprehend this human and demon pair!” Captain Qin retreated on his own, one hand pointing at Ling Han, while the other hand gripped tightly onto the Celestial medicine.
Although the soldiers were afraid of the large black dog, a Demonic Beast, they didn’t dare to retreat. They all raised their weapons and aimed them at Ling Han and the large black dog.
To be more precise, most of the weapons were targeted at the large black dog, and thought that it was more dangerous.
The people here seemed to have an extraordinary fear and disgust towards Demonic Beasts. The large black dog stood on his hind legs, hands on his hips, “Come on then. Grandpa Dog isn’t afraid of trash like you.”
It would definitely not miss out on a place where it could show off.
“Go, charge!” Captain Qin had already retreated to a place that he thought was safe enough, and began to order around again.
The soldiers were exasperated, so they could only grit their teeth and charge over. However, the large black dog merely sent a palm strike over, and pa, pa, pa, everyone collapsed to the ground, groaning and moaning.
Of course, this was because the large black dog had held back. Otherwise, how could it be that a Nine Cauldrons wouldn’t have been able to insta-kill a bunch of Mystery Realm Tiers?
Captain Qin was almost scared out of his wits by this scene. As he ran into the city, he shouted loudly, “Beast attack! Beast attack! The Demonic Beast is here!”
One could not help but be impressed. Even in such a state of fright, his hand was still tightly gripping onto that Celestial medicine, as if he would not let go even if he died.
Ling Han smiled, and his Spiritual Power transformed into a large hand that grabbed Captain Qin by force. Captain Qin’s legs were still moving rapidly, but his figure was retreating. Captain Qin was scared out of his wits, and his face became as white as a sheet.
“Hand it over!” The large black dog s.n.a.t.c.hed the Celestial medicine back, and tossed it over to Ling Han.
“Give me back my Celestial medicine!” Captain Qin screamed, brandis.h.i.+ng his claws, wanting to fight Ling Han to the death.
It was really rare to see someone who was so greedy that he was not afraid of death.
“Do you know who I am?” His eyes were red, as he shouted at Ling Han.
Ling Han smiled, “I really don’t know.”
“I am Qin Botao, and my son-in-law is Liu Long!” Captain Qin called out loudly. “Liu Long, do you know that he is the supreme prodigy of the Liu Clan, and has already been bestowed the t.i.tle of Fifth Grade Guard by His Majesty, the Emperor!”
The large black dog approached, and examined Qin Botao closely. Then, he said to Ling Han, “With how this guy looks like, how good-looking can his daughter be? This Liu Long shouldn’t be all that impressive either, right?”
“Pei, my daughter is as beautiful as a celestial maiden!” Qin Botao hurriedly argued.
Ling Han and the large black dog exchanged a glance before shaking their heads in unison.
The large black dog added, “If your daughter is really as beautiful as a celestial maiden, then she must be the child of the old man next door.”
F***, how could a demonic dog like you be so vicious?
Qin Botao trembled in anger. In truth, he would also occasionally mull over how he could give birth to such a beautiful daughter with his appearance. He could only console himself that his child looked like her mother.
“Humph, a demon and a Demonic Beast actually dare to invade our Golden Fetus City!” A voice filled with a murderous aura rang out, and a man in full armor also strode out. There were Celestial Qi entwined around him, making him appear incredibly handsome. “Son-in-law, save me! Save me!” When Qin Botao saw this, he hurriedly waved his hand and
called out.
This man was none other than Liu Long, a well-known prodigy of martial arts. In fact, he had even gained the attention of the sovereign of the Galewind Nation, and bestowed the t.i.tle of Fifth Grade City Guard on him.
For a young man who was only twenty-four or twenty-five years old, this was an honor.
Liu Long showed a hint of disgust. Towards his beautiful wife, he really liked her, but towards this money-grubbing, materialistic father-in-law, he absolutely detested him.
“Let him go!” he said coldly.
“What if I don’t?” The large black dog bared its teeth and asked.
“Then you can all die with him!” Liu Longhu said balefully.
“F***, this son-in-law is really two-faced.” The large black dog patted Qin Botao, “This son-in-law of yours is clearly using provocation tactics, wanting us to kill you in a fit of anger! Sigh, he probably has his eye on your wife, and wants to take in both mother and daughter. Tsk, tsk, tsk, too vulgar!”
